World Fingerpainting Day //
Event organising & co-ordination

Collaboration with Reposocial

Recently I was asked by the founders of World Fingerpainting Day; Reposocial to organise the Melbourne event for World Fingerpainting Day on September 18th. My job was to invite people, buy some paint, pick a park, set up, co-ordinate and document the day.

Why? People say: they “aren’t creative”, so it’s a symbolic movement saying that you CAN be creative. It’s inside all of us, we just need to get back to those sweet days of mud pies, imaginary friends and of course… fingerpainting!

The event was held in Parks in cities accross the world – including Sydney, Oslo, Miami, LA and the one I organised at the Edinburgh Gardens in Melbourne. Here’s some highlights of the Melbourne day – super sunny and relaxed, with only 1.5 weeks to organise, it was a great turnout.

Check it out on a global scale on the Facebook page here, and be sure to get involved next year on September 18...
